Tamara Keith and Amy Walter on Harris’ appearance at the convention and whether Trump will participate in the debate

Amy Walters:

That’s correct.

Well, that’s the really big question. So it’s true. Before Biden dropped out of the race, about 8 percent of voters nationally on average said they would vote for RFK Jr. Now it’s half that. So you’re right. Most of those went to Harris.

What’s happening now is, at least in polls we did a couple of weeks ago, where we just focused on the swing states, if you survey the voters who are still Kennedy supporters and re-segregate them and say, “All right, if you had to, who would you support?” you find that almost half of them are Trump supporters.

Now, number one, are they coming, right, or are they staying home because they’re sitting there because they really liked RFK and are disappointed and maybe now they’re not going to run for Trump? If they run for Trump, and especially if they run — if these undecided voters — there are still a significant number of undecided voters.
